'Rolling Coal'

04-19-2015, 05:34 PM

I work for a mid size agency in south Texas and our neighboring city is full of chemical plants (DOW, BASF etc.) they have all started new huge construction projects which have brought in about 20,000 contract workers from all over the country. Most of them are bringing their huge diesel trucks with them. I have no problems with diesels I have owned several, my issue is that every last one of them spews black smoke at every red light and every time they accelerate no doubt putting the pedal to the floor to try and show off. I know it's illegal according to federal regs is there any Texas troopers out there that can school me on what, if anything, can be done.
